Why it’s hard to debate statists

Great post on the forums by Dvide; nails it: When I used to listen to a lot of debates with prominent sceptics, it always struck me how easy it was for those promoting the supernatural. The people on the irrational side of the debate could simply make stuff up on the fly, where as the [...]

A Message To Homosexuals, Atheists and Other Minorities

Jacob Spinney echoes my sentiments. Back when I was younger atheism used to be my ’cause’ that I loved arguing about. As I’ve become more interested in political philosophy, economics and libertarian theory I have become totally bored with the God debate.

Sam Harris – Yet another atheist with a hard on for the state

Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then [...]

Richard Dawkins is a joke? (from the forums)

When I read Richard Dawkin’s “The selfish gene” many years ago I was gifted a new insight into the world that genuinely made me see everything in a brand new way. I quickly became a Dawkin’s fan. Later, reading his rebuttals of religion, I was again impressed; hearing him articulate so clearly what I already [...]
